US Special Forces A Detachment

A Special Forces company consists of six ODAs (Operational Detachments Alpha) or "A-Teams." The number of ODAs can vary from company to company, with each ODA specializing in an infiltration skill or a particular mission-set (e.g. Military Freefall (HALO), combat diving, mountain warfare, maritime operations, or urban operations).

An ODA consists of 12 men, each of whom has a specific function (MOS or Military Occupational Specialty) on the team, however all members of an ODA conduct cross-training. The ODA is led by an 18A (Detachment Commander), usually a Captain, and a 180A (Assistant Detachment Commander) who is his second in command, usually a Warrant Officer One or Chief Warrant Officer Two. The team also includes the following enlisted men: one 18Z team sergeant (Operations Sergeant), usually a Master Sergeant, one 18F (Assistant Operations and Intelligence Sergeant), usually a Sergeant First Class, and two each, 18Bs (Weapons Sergeant), 18Cs (Engineer Sergeant), 18Ds (Medical Sergeant), and 18Es (Communications Sergeant), usually Sergeants First Class, Staff Sergeants or Sergeants. This organization facilitates 6-man "split team" operations, redundancy, and mentoring between a senior specialist NCO and his junior assistant.

Thank you.

@SexyInfantryLT lol at first I thought you were talking about the "production quality" of the soldiers. Sad to say, but that's also true to some degree.

[SexyInfantryLT]

While the video may be cheesy, it is factual. The Army has never been known for great production quality. The current videos that they are putting out are just as bad. Btw, if you'd like to talk poorly of their language skills or uniforms, feel free to enlist and teach them with your vast knowledge gained from Call of Duty

@ironman9182 This was back in the day when the regulations weren't exactly what they are today; berets weren't mainstreamed into the normal Army, back then they didn't care- that and they were SF so they really don't give a fuck either way, lol.
